About this worksheet

Community leaders serve groups by listening, organizing work, making or carrying out decisions, and taking responsibility for results. First graders may recognize a mayor, teacher, or principal but think leadership simply means telling others what to do. This worksheet connects each role with a place, a job, and a realistic decision. Children point to the helper who matches a job, name who leads a class, a school or a town, and choose what a fair leader does.

Support questions use pictures of helpers and familiar classroom and school roles. Standard and challenge items widen the circle to the fire chief, the police chief and the mayor. Watch for choices based on uniforms or gender. The useful evidence is the job named in the question. A leader should match the group or place affected by the decision.

What your child will learn
